I mean this in the kindest way but what exactly were we supposed to be looking at? Other than a prime example why 33/40 is THE best and a possible glimpse of a wall cloud, I am not sure what else there was? Perhaps someone can enlighten me? Again, I am trying to be kind and appreciative of the effort.

I was wondering the same thing, but was too afraid to ask. Ha ha. I’m glad there are people that know what they are doing and can stay safe when storm chasing, but I saw little merit in the video other than a wall cloud and there are tons of videos like that out there. Like Alan, I don’t mean this in a derogatory way. Just curious.

You got it…Prime example of why 33/40 is the BEST…Obviously I was storm chasing, but never really got in a good position to stop and capture GOOD video…The camera on the dash didn’t capture what my “eyeballs” could see on this trip, but I sent it to James and company because it was kind of neat being right in the midst of the storm and having James Spann and Jason Simpson, the NWS and the Sirens in the background…I know they are hundreds of much more interesting videos out there, but just hoping to give some “hype” to the ABC 3340 Weather Crew while having a good time myself…Actually I should have sent this in as Learning Video’s on “How Not To Chase A Rotating Thunderstorm” Broke all the rules!!!, but I was dying trying…LOL…Sorry…I will keep this in mind when sending future video to James and Co. but thanks for your candid response!!

Like I said Terry I meant nothing but was wandering. Your explanation explains everything. THANKS:)
